Hi Paul,
The elements on both sides of the interface are conforming. If the
interface was free to move, but had a very high surface tension, high
enough that it was essentially fixed, then perhaps that could work? But
then there could be problems with ill-conditioning with a very high
surface tension.

Not very. It consists of a liquid suspended (due to surface tension)
between two metal posts. The liquid is surrounded by a gas flow.

I have gridded it using a block structured grid of 9 blocks, five in the
liquid region and four in the gas. The terminology for the whole problem
is a "liquid bridge".
Cheers,
Frank
